JohnBigBootay:Of course it exists - what a silly thing to try to prove. Hell, just find a bisexual dude and two people of opposite sexes. If the flag flies for each then you can conclude the study as proven.

A conservative friend acquaintance once explained to me that only women can be bisexual, because that's totally hot. Guys, however, are either straight or gay. Enjoying the cock just once, he insisted, makes you gay. "It's like how you've got sewage and wine," he said. "Now if you add a teaspoon of wine to a glass of sewage, it's still sewage. And if you add a teaspoon of sewage to a glass of wine, it's now sewage. Or it's like how on demographics forms you have 'white' and 'non-white.' As a dude you're either straight or not straight, and not straight = gay."

cgraves67:XMark: Are there really people that don't believe that bisexuality exists? I mean, there are people who like having sex with both men and women, so that kind of proves it all by itself, right?

I bet some people believe that bisexuals aren't really into one of the sexes and is just gay for pay or straight for pay or whatever.

But those people are idiots and probably believe being gay is a choice, and won't listen to this study anyway.

I used to identify as bixsexual, but honestly I don't find the majority of either sex attractive, and sod me if I can figure out what the people I find attractive have in common. Nonetheless I've had sex with both (and a few in-between) and fallen in love with members of both sexes. I think the problem with bisexuality is that it oversells the notion. I think it's moreso that the plumbing isn't a deal-breaker.

An increasingly common idea heard around the internet. I'm pretty convinced that there's a healthy population that would connect with any sentient thing of appropriate depth and character, regardless of gender or possibly even form.

Those people are just slutty.

From what I've read, "bisexual" men tend to be physically turned on by men, and have sex with women mainly for the social advantages (the classic closeted guy with a trophy wife and family, and boyfriends on the side). Bisexual women tend to be turned on by both sexes. As do "straight" women.

The argument seems to be not whether people exhibit bisexuality, but whether bisexuality is a hardwired orientation. There seems to be a big difference on how this manifests in men compared to women.

This is kind of interesting from an academic standpoint, but as society quits worrying so much about whether gay sex is preeversion, it's not an IMPORTANT question. You shouldn't be defined as being "a bisexual," just because you've had sex with both men and women. It's totally acceptable in my circle of acquaintances for "straight" women to declare their lust for female celebrities, without that putting them into some separate orientation category. Same thing should go for men.
